Hi all,
I am expecting baby #2 in late march and we are considering getting an arm's reach co-sleeper and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them and if you liked it or not.
I'll tell you a little bit about my situation. I will be breastfeeding the baby. With baby #1 we had latch issues because of flat nipples so I had trouble nursing laying down. Since I couldn't nurse laying down I moved Paige from a basinette in our room and into a crib in her own room. It wasn't that big of a deal for me to get up in the middle of the night because if I tired the next day I just layed down when Paige took a nap. But Paige is now down to just 1 nap a day and she may well give that up before the new baby arrives so I won't be able to nap during the day this time around. I have the flat nipple problem solved and should be able to nurse laying down this time around. So I was hoping that a co-sleeper would help give me some extra sleep since I won't have to get up and down out of bed in the middle of the night to nurse the baby.
So let me know if you have tried the co-sleeper and if you liked it or thought it was a waste of money.
TIA
